About

I would like to take this opportunity to personally greet you. I am the writer of the drama “The Alchemist A Mystery in Three Acts” available in stores.

We may know each other for a long time before we born. 🙂

We master over the creation by love, peace, honesty, and harmony. I am very much alive in the present. The world is moving with a fast pace of information which will help us to contact with each other.

Warm regards and love,

Vikram Roy

The Blog:

The scale is composed of three Likert-types statement measuring the degree to which a person believes that art in general is entertaining. Here in this blog you can read all such subjects related with science, arts, and literature. It’s my goal to fulfill these objectives.

Art cannot draw lines in human life, but an artist can reflect light upon the society that is still standing in the dark.

Creative Science:

Psychology is fundamental to understanding the impact on individuals and groups of the integration of media technologies in modern society. This field encompasses the full range of human experience of media—including affect, cognition, and behavior—in activities, events, theories, and practices. Media include all forms of mediated communication, such as pictures, sound, graphics, content and emerging technologies.

The emerging field represented a significant opportunity to use media in new and creative ways by understanding how creative science and media work together. Psychological theories can be applied to emerging social media, e-Learning, and digital technologies, blogging in pioneering ways. Media psychology draws from multiples disciplines such as sociology, anthropology, neuroscience, political science, rhetoric, computer science, communications, culture, arts and international relations.

One of the goals of education is social awareness: a better understanding of society and the knowledge of available alternatives. The development of social awareness based fundamentally on consideration for others is an important function of education, basic to the philosophy.

Why is it that marketing scientists tend to blame a brand’s demise on “loss of differentiation” or some such thing when they should be saying “It’s too expensive, it’s no longer profitable”? Which incidentally means the brand is becoming more not less differentiated?

‘Why is it that marketing scientists tend to blame a brand’s demise on “loss of differentiation” or some such thing when they should be saying “It’s too expensive, it’s no longer profitable”? Which incidentally means the brand is becoming more not less differentiated?”

Simple – They want to differentiate themselves from the ordinary folks 🙂 Makes them look smart and they can charge more 🙂

It is incredible how many people rely on the idea that only the material can make them happy and by the idea that only with reaching a future goal will happiness be obtained, instead of just learning to be happy in the present.

You have a famous name, Vikram. I am sure you know this, but I send on some information I discovered. We know this story format as used in the Arabian Nights.

Vetala Panchavimshati or Baital Pachisi, “Twenty five tales of the Baital”), is a collection of tales and legends within a frame story, from India. It was originally written in Sanskrit.

One of its oldest recensions is found incorporated in the 9th section of the 12th book of the Kathā-Sarit-Sāgara (“Ocean of the Streams of Story”), a work in Sanskrit compiled in the 11th century by Somadeva, but thought to have been based on yet older materials. This recension comprises in fact twenty four tales, the frame narrative itself being the twenty fifth.

Plot:

The legendary King Vikram, identified as Vikramāditya (c. 1st century BC), promises a vamachari (a tantric sorcerer) that he will capture a vetala (or Baital), a vampire spirit who hangs from a tree and inhabits and animates dead bodies.

King Vikram faces many difficulties in bringing the vetala to the tantric. Each time Vikram tries to capture the vetala, it tells a story that ends with a riddle. If Vikram cannot answer the question correctly, the vampire consents to remain in captivity. If the king answers the question correctly, the vampire would escape and return to his tree. In some variations, the king is required to speak if he knows the answer, else his head will burst. In other versions, the king is unable to hold his tongue if he knows the answer, due to his ego. Regardless of the reason, he knows the answer to every question; therefore the cycle of catching and releasing the vampire continues twenty-four times.

On the twenty-fifth attempt, the vetala tells the story of a father and a son in the aftermath of a devastating war. They find the queen and the princess alive in the chaos, and decide to take them home. In due time, the son marries the queen and the father marries the princess. Eventually, the son and the queen have a son, and the father and the princess have a daughter. The vetala asks what the relation between the two newborn children is. The question stumps Vikram. Satisfied, the vetala allows himself to be taken to the tantric.

The vetala reveals the sorcerer’s plan to sacrifice Vikram, beheading him as he bowed in front of the goddess. The Sorcerer could then gain control over the vetala. The vampire suggests that the king asks the tantric how to perform his obeisance, then take advantage of that moment to behead the sorcerer himself. Vikramāditya does exactly as told by the vetala and he is blessed by Lord Indra. The vetala offers the king a boon, whereupon Vikram requests that the tantric’s life be restored and that the vetala would come to the king’s aid when needed.

Kristin, It reminds me some of my childhood fantasies about Vikram-Baital stories. “Vikram” is actually an adjective, it means “brave” in simple English. Albeit I am not very brave! 🙂 Thanks for the story you have shared here. Love and a big hug.

Educating people is vital. People live in the here and now and do not study humanitys historical mistakes. Cubans like me and Venezuelans never thought that their country could be tyranicaly taken from within. When I look at the naiveity and gullibilty of my beloved USA I shudder. Blessings

Hello Vikram…thank you for liking one of the posts on my blog at Faith1st Ministry. I hope it has encouraged you. Please continue check in on us from time to time and follow if you will. Thank you again and remember to have Faith 1st.

Hi Vikram,
Thanks for stopping by my photoblog. This is such a great way to virtually “meet” interesting people from all over the world. I’ll be stopping by your blog to see what’s going on in your world. Best wishes in 2012.

Thank you for the “like”. I enjoyed reading what you wrote and it seems that you must be a very intelligent person. Your surname is also a famous one; I don’t know if you are in any way related. I am in the act of getting and installing more power on my internet connection. The one I have is slow, so when I’m up and running again, I will be in touch.
Artists: I wish you could interact with my friends Rhea Bailey and Miriam McConnon, both artists and deep thinkers as well as interesting artists. Miriam is on the net but Rhea, who is older, shuns it. Rhea, I’m sure would love to write something. I’ll ask her. Miriam has a young family and is always busy as she’s also a teacher. The nice thing about them is Miriam is Irish and Rhea is Cypriot yet both are familiar with Art from the other’s land. My own favourites are Modigliani and Van Gogh. When I lived in London it was great to have so many wonderful galleries to go to.
Psychology: not an expert but love observing the way the human mind works.
Consideration for others an absolute ‘social awareness’ lesson all children should be taught.
Best,
Colette

Hello VR…thank you for following my blog at Faith1st Ministry. My hope it has and will continue to be a major blessing in your life. May God richly bless you as you continue to write and blog. Please continue with us on this journey and remember to have Faith 1st. — Sebastian

Happy new year, Vikram! Thanks for stopping by and liking my blog. I’ll visit yours again. I laughed at your Domino’s desserts post.I worked for Dominos about a decade ago, but the only dessert we delivered were Cinnastix: butter and sugar on pizza dough. Ergh. 😉

Vikram….I came by your site to say thanks, for reading my posts and following my blog. I’ve only had a chance to sample a small bit of your posts so far. What I’ve seen is very compelling as well as complex. It is a heavy read, with a lot of insight into human nature revealed in what you write.

I spent 29 years working in mental hospitals, first as a Psychiatric Technician, then later in offices due to an injury; I retired last year. I’ve also read a book every day for the last 51 years, and have an immense appetite for new reading material. So, I think that may be why your work appeals to me, as you explore a lot of territory on the psychological plateau, and it’s all new to me. When I have a bit more time, I’m looking forward to reading your play, as well as wading through some of your essays. When I do, I’m sure I’ll have comments; I’m not shy, and I have no problems sharing my thoughts about what I read.

Visually stimulating blog. Thanks for stopping by mine.
I work primarily with women undergoing treatment for breast cancer and use various forms of art media in their healing/coping. Do you have any thoughts?

Not a project really. I am a nurse navigator and assist woman with cancer treatment. We have an integrative medicine program that offers opportunity to use the arts, meditation, REiki etc. in the healing process. I would be interested in learning about any programs or projects that might be available in an electronic format as this can sometimes be preferred. Great talking…thanks!
You can read more about my role/experience on my blog if you are interested.

Thanks for the like to “Gulf Arab States Must Be Democratized Now”.
As you said in your excellent article “The world suffers a lot. Not because of the violence of bad people, but because of the silence of good people!”

I look forward to reading your blog on the Mustang, I’m the daughter of a retired engineer from one of the “Big 3” and always wanted a muscle car from the late 60s growing up…I take that back, I still want one!!!

Thanks for reading my blog, I do appreciate it, especially coming from a writer and critic. I am currently working on two of my own science fiction short stories and therefore can’t help but admire any published writer.

Thanks for coming to check out my blog. Hope you enjoyed. I look forward to reading what you have to say. It’s always interesting for me to find new bloggers to read. Hope your day is good. BTW, where are you from? Just a curiosity of mine to see where various writers live.

It’s a very interesting take regarding the media on your part. Unfortunately, though media takes from the above mentioned fields of studies, it has become more a tool for keeping people misinformed of the true events unraveling in the world today. At the same time, media is sometimes the cause and effect-vicious cycle of perpetuating dogmatic ideas up to violence. It has become a tool for politics and powerful people to distort the truth in regards to our everyday reality we all share in the world. This is one of the reasons I almost never turn on my TV nor read a newspaper, preferring instead to watch things on line as they are presented by “simple” everyday people, in this way, the uncompromising way, I chose to receive information on the bases of relevance and truthfulness. Thanks again for having the most interesting About I’ve read in ages. Lucianus

Thank you for your visiting my Blog Vikram I appreciate this, it means that you are either searching for Truth or just for people to join your Blog… but I will leave that to God, He sees the heart, man looks on the outside and uses his own logic, wisdom and understanding, which is very shallow in comparison.

Thanks for visiting the happy spaces project. We would love for you to submit an image and description of a space that makes you happy. You have a very unique blog and we’d love to have a post from you. http://happyspacesproject.wordpress.com/

Media psych has a place in education . Learning by some children is graphical and too few educators understand that and the child is rated a poor achiever as he does not learn traditional expectations.

“Why is it that marketing scientists tend to blame a brand’s demise on “loss of differentiation” or some such thing when they should be saying “It’s too expensive, it’s no longer profitable”? Which incidentally means the brand is becoming more not less differentiated?”

Right on, Vikram. So often, when we are challenged, the temptation is to blame something/someone outside ourselves. It would be very interesting to research this topic – what is it that has brought this kind of thinking into the mainstream? The media? Seems to me that much of the public is living vicariously through the worst melodramatic sensationalism the media can dish up. Is the media creating a more self-indulgent society? Perhaps I’m off the mark here…

Please don’t misunderstand me, there are times when we need to reach out- even be on the lookout for opportunities to lift up our neighbours. Without plain old fashioned compassion, we are nothing at all.

VIKRAM ROY
I am very pleased that you liked “Most Popular Posts on This Blog up to 17 Feb 2012” and “A Chat Between Christian and Muslim in Lebanon” and at Tarig Anter (on Protect & Reinvent Democracy).
Yesterday I caught the last minutes of a TV interview with a young author (Martin Lindstrom) on his new best seller titled “Brandwashed: Tricks Companies Use to Manipulate Our Minds and Persuade Us to Buy”. It might interest you, or you may write something creative about it.

“Art cannot draw lines in human life, but an artist can reflect light upon the society that is still standing in the dark.”

While these lines caught my attention, I beg to differ… I believe many artists endeavour(ed) to drawn lines in the human experience, both in regenerating that experience in a social context and in a spiritual and individual context. True art comes from a place of inner quiet, intuition, insight, where the artist is not trying to reproduce that which sits before him but that which is its on living entity.

One would have to question if it is society which stands in the dark, or, if this reflection is due to a deep serperation of human to the human experience. Is the artist reflecting light on a society standing in the shadows, or is the artist drawing lines over the expression’s birthed of the human experience?

In the late 1860s, through the practice of painting light and water (en plein air) in the open air, Renoir and Monet discovered that the color of shadows is not brown or black, but the reflected color of the objects surrounding them…

“You come to nature with all her theories, and she knocks them all flat” ~ Renoir

Off-course with credit and blog links DAG! I don’t have much illustrations for most of my posts. I use my digi-cam to take photographs and use them. But I think your illustrations will add more fun together. Thanks 🙂

Vikram Roy; I am very pleased you liked “Invest in a New Desktop Chassis/Case Design” on 3D Democracy (for People Participation in Alternative System) and on Tarig Anter (on Protect & Reinvent Democracy).
Please find someone in India or the region to produce this design. I posted this proposal since 2008, but nothing materialized. Good luck and thanks

Hi Tarig, How are you friend? Its hard in India to produce a instructed design system, specially the outlook! Here manufacturing industry is based on bulk manufacturing. I think China is more dependable in this matter. I have some knowledge about hardware assembling that I once did some diploma to repair my own PC! But producing a personal design is cost-affected too!

Hey Vikram! I’ve really enjoyed following your blog this past month! Great posts and I love the neat graphics you post with them.

As such, I wanted to nominate your blog for the Versatile Blogger Award! (I apologize if you’ve gotten it before!) It’s an award made by bloggers for bloggers as a way to recognize all the outstanding blogs out there. Here’s a link to give you more info about the award:

Oh man.. It took a lot of time to scroll down all these comments… thousands there were I suppose..
But when I want to thank someone.. I thank them.. no matter how many miles I have to walk before I am able to express gratitude.. (Wiping the sweat off my forehead)
#Melodrama

Anyways.. Thanks for the like Vikram.. I’ll visit your blog time and again!
Priyanka 🙂

I greatly enjoy your attitude toward combining a scientific understanding of and approach to the world and the creative, artistic impulses that can make that factual basis so much more meaningful and powerful! May you do well and find great joy in pursuing that curiosity and passion of yours.
Cheers,
Kathryn

Thank you for visiting my blog Onelifethislife. it was great to have a new visitor. I love your statement: Art cannot draw lines in human life, but an artist can reflect light upon the society that is still standing in the dark. Very profound. I look forward to visiting again.

Hello, Vikram 🙂 Thanks for liking my first post. Means a lot to me. I read your introduction and you sound really interesting. Can’t wait to make some time and read your play.

Hello Vikram. Thanks for checking out my blog. I’m glad I stopped by yours as well. It’s easy to get disheartened by the amount of junk on the internet, but just as easy to be inspired by those who think before writing/posting. You clearly fall in that second category! I love your use of imagery and color.

“One of the goals of education is social awareness: a better understanding of society and the knowledge of available alternatives. The development of social awareness based fundamentally on consideration for others is an important function of education, basic to the philosophy.”

Hi there Vikram, thanks for stopping by my blog http://reflectionsofchina.wordpress.com/ and for the likes, they are appreciated…wow, you have some good work here and it would look like were related through Psychology :)..Cheers Mark

Thanks for liking “Seldom Wright,” and for visiting my blog. I will, in turn, visit yours and comment. I don’t normally hit the “like” button without a comment. I generally graze quickly until I find a morsel to chew on, and then I respond with a word or two what I found good — and sometimes will ask when I don’t understand something. Oh, and don’t take what I say too terribly seriously, because I’m Seldom Wright.

Vikram,
Thank you for making a stop in my space. I would be interested to know what it is that drew you to my humble little blog. Accident? I find that’s always the best way, with the most surprises. I find your posts (what I have read so far) very thought provoking, maybe too much so for the end of the day. I will enjoy returning when my mind is more clear and I can delve deeper.

Cheers for liking my post on Serendipity Farm. Art is the icing on lifes cake and gives life its colour, texture, richness and depth. I can’t be dealing with people who say that art has specific boundaries. Art is deep in everything (along with mathematics I am discovering). Being a horticulturalist I have been very interested in how plants use art to facilitate their day to day survival. In the process I have discovered pure mathematics, fibonacci numbers, the golden rule and music are all important. Life is woven together with many threads of philosophy, art, science, mathematics and its obvious that someone was going to exploit the links between creative science and marketing. Any way to make money! ;). You have a very intersting format on your blog…I might have to check out some of your posts.

I am Tracy with CheapOilPainting.com, an online store specializing in museum quality oil painting reproductions. We are currently offering bloggers and website owners discount coupon codes which they can share with their readers. As a new business, we’re just hoping to spread the word about our store (and hopefully to get mentioned somewhere on your blog)

Would you have any interest in offering your readers an exclusive 15% discount coupon code from Cheap Oil Painting?

I’m hoping that readers of your blog might be interested in our paintings.
